Ms. Mwamba — whose father is a Maryland Capitol Police officer — says one police officer struck her and tried to drag her out of the car, and another tased her. The video shows her being tased, and soon after being called a “dumb bitch” by a cop who told her she had just tried to run over a police officer. In fact, police then charged Ms. Mwamba with counts including felony assault and resisting arrest, as I confirmed on the Maryland courts website.

If the police officers’ hands were clean, then why did the incident video — which she told police about — get deleted, as Ms. Mwamba alleges, from her phone when the phone was in police custody? Praised be the perpetual cloud, which preserved the video.
